There are several official and unofficial compilation albums of Petra. Many fans of Petra have a decided antipathy toward the compilation albums. This is because they feel that the record labels tried to capitalize on the fame of Petra after the band had stopped recording with them. For instance, Petra gained immense popularity in the early nineties. This was the period when Star Song brought out many of their compilation albums from the period that Petra were recording with them. Also, there is a minority of fans who believe that putting Petra songs on compilation albums rids them of their proper place in the transition of songs on the album.
This is one of those compilation albums. However, this one is exactly the same as "The Early Years" released in 1996. Looks like "EMI / Capital Music wanted in on the action!
